08 Mar Hahn Tasting and Early Close on Sunday!
Today we are tasting a couple of great everyday wines from Hahn Winery. The Nicky Hahn Pinot Noir and Nicky Hahn Chardonnay! I am also getting my final shipment of wines from the Chicago tasting. I may open one of them today too!
Nicky Hahn Pinot Noir ($12.99) – The Hahn 2010 Pinot showcases all that is exceptional about Monterey County Pinot Noir. Fresh raspberry and black cherry scents are intense and concentrated followed in the mid-palate by decadent berry compote flavors with fragrant cardamom and clove undertones. This is a rich and vibrant wine whose purity of Pinot Noir flavors are given dimension by a light touch of toasty oak, supported by earthy tannins and classic cool-climate acidity. This versatile wine stands alone well, but would be a perfect partner to a variety of fish, poultry or pasta dishes. Try it with risotto with shellfish, wild mushrooms and pancetta, roast five-spice duck with mango chutney or a traditional pairing of grilled salmon with Pinot Noir pan sauce and garlic mashed potatoes.
Nicky Hahn Chardonnay ($9.99) – Exotic notes of pineapple and coconut leads the aroma of this wine with a distinct undercurrent of green apple. At first taste, a luscious blend of mango and cream come to mind, while still maintaining a light feel on the palate. A clean finish leaves the slightest hint of sweet butter and vanilla. Grown entirely in the Santa Lucia Highlands of Monterey, this wine is an elegant balance of winemaking skill and the unique quality of this area.
Stop in for a taste!
Happy Birthday Ken!
